Last year, D-Link flubbed a router bug-fix, so it's back with total pwnage

I'd use OpenWRT if it didn't hang the wireless connection on my six (ahem) WRT54GS2 routers when you try to use more than about 1Mbit/s. After it hangs, the only way to get a service back is to reboot the router. That can be a bit inconvenient if it's on the other side of the industrial estate. Tomato doesn't do it. The OpenWRT authors know of the problem but refuse to do anything about it, claiming that it's a hardware bug. Sure, it might be, but there are several software workarounds and they're not interested. The correspondence is all published in the mailing list.

IMHO OpenWRT sucks.
